b l o g . c r e a t i o ncreating a blog on blogger.com
and posting it to your personal space on the umich servers.

FIRST:

Open the application "FUGU." If it is already on your computer, it should be pre-configured
so that you can upload files to your personal space on the server.*
If not...-When the program opens, enter "sftp.ifs.umich.edu"
in the "Connect to:" field.
-Enter your unique name in the "Username" field.

Click "Connect." (you may be prompted to enter your Kerebos password)

You will see a window with a bunch of folders.
-Double-click "Public."
-When that folder opens, double-click "html."
(This folder will probably be empty unless you've uploaded
other files previously.)
-Click "New Folder" in the menu bar.
-Enter the name "blogger" (no quotation marks) for the directory name.
-Make sure that "New Directory Will Be Created Remotely"
is selected, and click "Create."
-Now, double-click your "blogger" folder. You will add three folders to it
in the same manner. Name them as follows:
-archives
-images
-sitefeed

(do not create these three folders one inside the other-
they should all be at the same level within the blogger folder)

*your "connect to" field MAY say "sftp.ifs.umich.edu," "sftp.afs.umich.edu," or "sftp.itd.umich.edu." All are fine.

Fill in the next fields as follows:
-FTP path: Public/html/blogger/
-Blog Filename: blogger.html
-FTP Username: your-uniq-name-FTP Password: Your Kerebos password.Note: if you do not enter username and password, you will not be able to post images. This is a blogger bug.
("Ping Weblogs.com" is optional)

20. Click "Email."
• Enter your e-mail address. Blogger will send you a copy of your post each time you post. This can be useful.
• Mail-to blogger address: I haven't tried this feature yet.

Click "Save Settings."

21. Click on "Members" tab if you wish to add members.

22. Click the "TEMPLATE" tab (above the tabs we've been working with up 'til now.)
Choose a color for your blogger nav bar. This is a feature that you want.

Click "Save Template Changes."

THIRD:

POSTING AN ENTRY TO YOUR BLOG

1. Click the "POSTING" tab.

Create a post:
-Enter a title.
-Type the text of your post.

TO ADD IMAGES:
-Click the little colored square below the title. This is how you will add attachments to your posts,
such as images. A pop-up window will appear.
-Upload Path: Public/html/blogger/images/
-Click "Choose File" to upload a file from your computer.
Recommended size of images to appear in your blog:
No more than 400 pixels wide, 72 dpi.
-Click "Upload." After a moment, another window will appear. Choose "Inline."
("Link to image" is the choice when you have large files). Click "Done."

This feature is very useful when you are doing research on the web. It allows you to post
to your blog from wherever you are on the web just by clicking a link on your browser.
The post window that pops up will contain the url of the page you are visiting.
